The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.

Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.

Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.

Shipping Weight

The Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width &amp; height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

Heather's Tummy Tamers Peppermint Oil Capsules are a medical food for the dietary management of Irritable Bowel Syndrome symptoms. Clinical studies have shown that, as part of the diet: peppermint relieves abdominal pain, diarrhea, and urgency; fennel helps relax the gut and aids bloating; ginger contains powerful digestive enzymes. Enteric coated peppermint oil capsules have been clinically tested and shown to help the dietary management of IBS symptoms in both adults and children.

Heather's Tummy Tamers Peppermint Oil Capsules are unique because they are specially formulated for intense bowel soothing that addresses global IBS symptoms through the combined effects of peppermint, fennel, and ginger oils. They also have extra enteric coating to improve tolerance for those prone to heartburn or reflux.

Suggested Use

Take 1 capsule, one to three times daily. Take on an empty stomach. If you are at all prone to heartburn, take no less than 1 hour before eating. If you are not prone to heartburn, you can take 15 minutes before eating. Take with just enough cool (not warm) liquid to swallow easily. Do not chew.

It is so nice to know that there is a natural product that works as well, if not better, than any pharmaceutical drug. iHerb also has this product at the best price that I can find. My local stores either don't carry it or are out of stock.
